Enterprise Network Innovator Nile is a CRN 2024 Tech Innovator Award Finalist


SAN JOSE, Calif., July 15, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Nile, a pioneer in AI networking and Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) for the enterprise, announced today that CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, has named Nile as a finalist of the 2024 CRN Tech Innovator Awards. Nile is being recognized for its Nile Access Service in the Networking - Enterprise category.

This annual award showcases innovative vendors in the IT channel across 37 distinct technology categories ranging from cloud to storage to networking to security. The 2024 finalists were selected by a panel of CRN editors who reviewed hundreds of vendor entries and solution provider testimonials. Standout innovations were determined using multiple criteria, including key capabilities, uniqueness, technological ingenuity, and ability to address customer and partner needs.

“This recognition is a credit to the hard work and ongoing ingenuity of the entire team here at Nile,” said Pankaj Patel, Nile’s co-founder and CEO. “Nile’s ambition is nothing less than a fundamental re-imagining of the enterprise network to better address the needs of today’s IT leaders. That means delivering a solution that reduces their operational burden through AI and automation, secures their campus from day one, and is consumed as a service with a lower overall total cost of ownership. Awards from leading media like CRN are a testament to our strides in enabling this transition.”

About the Nile Access Service

The Nile Access Service is powered by a new approach to enterprise networking that combines cloud native software delivery, AI and automation, built-in zero-trust networking security, and custom-built wired, wireless, and sensor network infrastructure in an “as-a-Service” offering. Unlike legacy, product-centric Network-as-a-Service (NaaS) offerings, the Nile Access Service was built from the ground up with powerful AI applications to automate and orchestrate traditionally manual network operations. It offers a standardized system design, a single data store, and an integrated software stack to deliver guaranteed performance, coverage, capacity, and availability for wired and wireless LAN connectivity. With per-user and per-square-foot consumption options available, all service capabilities include high-performance hardware and software components, 24/7 support, and zero upfront capital expense.

“We are inspired by the commitment to continuous innovation among this year’s CRN Tech Innovator Award winners and finalists. Each of these technology vendors delivers cutting-edge offerings that meet evolving customer needs and create new opportunities for solution providers,” said Jennifer Follett, VP, U.S. Content, and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel company. “We look forward to future innovations from the recipients and to seeing how they advance success across the channel.”
